Redirect Checker
Trace every hop of a redirect chain with status codes and timings.
About the Redirect Checker
Redirects send visitors and crawlers from one URL to another. They are essential when you move pages, change domains or switch to HTTPS – but chains of several redirects slow pages down, and the wrong type can delay how quickly search engines transfer signals to the new URL.
This checker follows a URL hop by hop, showing each status code (301, 302, 307, 308), the destination and how long it took, until it reaches the final page. It flags long chains, temporary redirects used for permanent moves, loops and HTTPS-to-HTTP downgrades.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between 301 and 302?
A 301 says the page has moved permanently, so search engines replace the old URL with the new one. A 302 says the move is temporary and the old URL should stay indexed.
Do redirects lose PageRank?
Google has said 301 and 302 redirects pass full PageRank today. Long chains still waste crawl budget and add load time, so keep them short.
How long should I keep redirects?
At least a year, and ideally permanently, especially for URLs that have backlinks.
